'I saved Nigeria from corruption' - Buhari replies Adoke

Former President Muhammadu Buhari has stated that his government saved Nigeria from corruption.

According to him, his administration saved the country from corrupt undertones planted to make the economy collapse.

He revealed this in a statement by his spokesman, Garba Shehu, in response to the allegations raised against him by former Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Mohammed Bello Adoke, over Process & Industrial Developments (P&ID), Paris Club, and the Ajaokuta steel company.

Buhari explained that the cases identified by Adoke originated from an administration that the former Attorney General was part of.

He stressed that his administration inherited the contract and incidental judgement in the P&ID.

Parts of the statement read: “The logical conclusion any reasonable person can draw on P&ID, Paris Club, and Ajaokuta is that President Buhari came on a rescue mission and effectively saved Nigeria from corrupt undertones that were planted to expose its economy to imminent collapse.

"The success of the Buhari administration in the fight against corruption is unprecedented.”
